Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 519 The Blood of Sauron's Descendants
Klein had already begun preparations before Renette Tinicol brought back Luzer's letter.

He carefully studied Elaine Soren's psychology, pondering how to perfectly portray the other's demeanor. Incidentally, he captured a lucky pirate in Bayam's port and fed him to "Crawling Hunger," who would later prove useful on Tracy's ship.

"brush."

A chilling wind blew, and a tall, elegantly dressed messenger in a black gown forced her way out of the void, one of her heads carrying Lu Ze's reply.

That's pretty fast.

Klein thought to himself, reaching out to take it, but felt a slight resistance.

He was somewhat surprised to see that the messenger girl's four heads were all facing him at the same time.

"His...his...body...residues of an evil god."

Evil God?

Lu Ze has been fighting against various evil gods, so it's normal for him to have residual aura, right? No, she wasn't this concerned when I asked her to deliver the message last time. So, it's an evil god that Lu Ze encountered recently.

You mean the 'Mother Tree of Desire'?

Klein recalled what Luze had told him at the Transmigrators' Meeting: "He had just been attacked by Him."

"But he..." "Looks like..." "Hasn't been..." "Corrupted"

The messenger continued, a strange look on her face.

Oh, she probably meant to say, why is it that Luze was able to remain mentally sound despite being attacked by an evil god? Don't even mention you, I'd like to know too. He's been like this since Tingen!
Klein realized what was happening and smiled, saying, "He naturally has his secrets."

At the same time, Klein also felt curious. Renette Tinicol had always appeared very indifferent, but now she was showing obvious emotional fluctuations towards the "Mother Tree of Desire"—why was that?
"."

The messenger looked intently at Klein with her four heads and eight eyes. She said nothing more, but took a step back and left the real world.

"If you really care that much, why don't you ask him yourself?" Klein muttered to himself as he opened the envelope.

"Clap."

A peculiar talisman fell out of the envelope. It was engraved with mysterious patterns and felt soft and warm to the touch, even giving him the sensation of living flesh and blood.

"hiss"

Klein unfolded the accompanying letter, on which Luzer had written very briefly:

I carried it with me when I boarded the ship, so I can pinpoint its location. Its activation incantation is the Hermes word for "puppet."

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

"Anderson, gather everyone together, we're about to set off."

"Leaving? Where to?"

"I don't know, but let's just head the boat that way first."

After sensing the orientation of his talisman, Lu Ze stretched out his finger and pointed south.

"what?"

Anderson glanced at his captain, somewhat speechless, and seeing that the other man's attitude didn't seem to be joking, asked again, "What about the target?"

"Objective: Kill 'Disease Admiral' Tracy and completely destroy her fleet."

Lu Ze said it casually.

Anderson paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

"Yes!"

He quickly ran out of the captain's cabin and began calling to the crew. Soon, a cacophony of sounds arose outside: footsteps running on the deck, shouts of hoisting the sails, the yelling of sailors checking supplies, and of course, some vulgar insults exchanged.

After a while of excitement, Lu Ze clearly felt a sway under his feet, and the scenery outside the window began to move backward.

The sea breeze is nice today; hopefully the fleet will arrive in time.

After that, Lu Ze stayed in the captain's cabin. Every now and then, he would sense the location of the runes and adjust the course accordingly. To be honest, it was somewhat tedious and boring.

"Medici, are you awake? Come out and have a chat with me."

Luze silently called upon the evil spirit. Medici gave a contemptuous laugh.

"I don't think we're close enough to be able to have a proper conversation."

He said.

“We’re in a business relationship now, so it’s reasonable for us to communicate occasionally,” Lu Ze said, ignoring the sarcasm in his tone. “Actually, I have a few questions I’d like to ask you.”

"Ask me for advice? Haha, that's quite a polite way of putting it."

Medici laughed, "But why should I tell you?"

"That's all."

Lu Ze opened his palm, and in the center, a vial of blood shimmered a beautiful red in the sunlight. It was the blood of "Red-Haired Elaine," the blood of a direct descendant of the Soren family.

"Ok?"

The next instant, Lu Ze immediately sensed the strangeness of the evil spirit within his body. It spread its spirituality and carefully examined the vial of blood.

"This is... the scent of my blood relative."

The angelic ancestor of the Soren family spoke in a low voice.

"How about it, do you want it?"

Lu Ze laughed and said, "If you want it, then answer my question properly."

Medici had previously requested that he bring Sophia, a direct descendant of the Einhorn family, onto the ship, so he speculated that the blood of the descendants might play an important role for them, the triune evil spirits.

“Medici, answer him.”

"Don't be a useless piece of trash; try to do something useful."

Before Medici could react, the remaining spiritual remnants of the other two ancestors couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up directly.

"Even if I'm useless, I'm still not as good as the two of you. The only thing you can do is open your mouths and spout nonsense." Medici mocked the two first, then spoke to Luze, "Fine, you win. What do you want to know? It'd better be something of value, otherwise I'm too lazy to answer, heh."

He's finally willing to answer. Klein's blood sample wasn't collected in vain.

Lu Ze took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset slightly, and slowly asked, "Who seduced the 'Dark Angel,' leading to the betrayal? And what is the 'Dark Angel''s' connection to the Rose of Redemption?"

This is the information that [Sun] learned in "Afternoon Town," and Luze wants to get a clearer answer from the person involved.

Medici's laughter stopped abruptly, as if he had been punched in the face and suddenly fell silent.

"Where did you hear about this?"

After a moment, He asked coldly.

"Medici, are you having a bad memory? It seems like I'm the one asking you now, isn't it?"

Lu Ze would never tell him.

"."

Medici remained silent. Although nestled within Luzer's body, he slowly released an invisible pressure, and the atmosphere in the captain's cabin began to grow heavy.

"Meow"

Luna, who was lying down, was startled awake. She instinctively stood up and wanted to run to Luze's side for comfort, but after running a few steps, she realized that the source of the danger was Luze, and she became hesitant.

"captain!"

Anderson's voice came from outside, "Ten minutes have passed, should we adjust the direction?"

"Adjust the temperature 3 degrees further west."

Lu Ze replied.

After Anderson left, he continued to think to himself, "So, what's your answer?"
